UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1942
His team had just beaten the Bluejays at Omaha Saturday night by a 31 to 22 score. This placed the Aggies on top of the Missouri Valley conference with an undefeated record. However, the case does not rest there for Creighton goes down to Stillwater for return game Feb. 23.
One of the interested spectators at the Creighton-Kansas game Tuesday night was Henry Iba, veteran basketball coach and athletic director at Oklahoma A. and M. Iba, who was a front row fan, had more than a casual interest in the game.
That game will undoubtedly decide the champion of their conference. But more than that, Iba's crew will face the Jayhawkers in two engagements within the next two weeks. The first game will be at Lawrence next Friday and the game at Stillwater will be played the following Wednesday, Feb.25.
HENRY IBA IS IN A BIND
In a short after-game chat Iba didn't have much to say about the Burton Cossey affair in which the latter transferred his track ability from the Stillwater campus to the up-state crowd at Norman. He said he was going to meet with Lawrence "Jap" Haskell, director of athletics at the University of Oklahoma, sometime this week and the situation would be discussed and a peaceable settlement made.
Iba however is on the spot. Undoubtedly he won't take quite as much interest in the case as if the athlete in question were a basketball player, or even a football star. Furthermore, he's bound to be affected by a few citizens of the state who are vitally interested in seeing that O.U. gets best athletes and has the best teams in the state.
One of these interested parties is Governor Leon Phillips who played football with Bennie Owen at Oklahoma. Owen was former football coach and athletic director at the Norman school and is still vitally connected with the Sooner athletic squads, being head of the intramural set-up at the present time.
Even more influential is a certain Mr. Noble, millionaire oilman, who is also a member of the Board of Regents in Oklahoma. It was Noble who was so interested in getting Orville Mathews, star Sooner football and track man to return to the Norman campus from the University of Southern California, that he used his own private plane to fly Mathews back. The athletic officials at Oklahoma can't be blamed too much for their questionable tactics when they receive the green-light signal from a man on the state's Board of Regents. Perhaps the knowledge that Noble is a regent and a Sooner booster will slow Iba down.
But even if Iba does allow the situation to pass over quietly the Sooners must have Cossey's eligibility okayed by the Big Six athletic council. This shouldn't bother the faculty members of the six schools who comprise the council. Nor should it worry Oklahoma for that school has been getting by on bluff in several instances of the past and it doesn't appear that any new tactics will be changed.
The statement that the athletic council will not worry about the case merely implies that this august body will take its usual action, which is doing absolutely nothing. For some reason the council is afraid to take any action. They make rules and by-laws, good ones too, and then fail to uphold them. That is, some of the schools are that way. Word has finally leaked out that Missouri is the school which supposedly backed down in the Gerald Tucker case last month. Nebraska on the other hand desired action and wanted it quite badly but the powers-that-be at Missouri persuaded the vote to fall in favor of Oklahoma. The same situation will probably occur in two weeks when the council meets again in Kansas City but it will be interesting to watch just what excuses the council hands out.
TWO GOOD REFEREES FOUND
Additional notes on the Creighton-Kansas game: The officiating Tuesday night was the best of the year for this column's money. . . . Ab Hinshaw always has proved popular and in every game he has worked he has done an efficient job . . . . The other referee was new to Jayhawker fans but they certainly did take to him. . . . He was Mike Oberhelman, former Kansas Stater,w ho now works in his father's bank at Randolph, about 30 miles north of Manhattan. . . . He hasn't refereed many games in this section but up Nebraska-way they swear by him. . . . Free substitution was used during the game. . . . This policy is followed in the Missouri Valley but not in the Big Six where a player is allowed to enter the game only three times. . . Many fans were fooled Tuesday night by the apparent display of complete unity on the Jayhawk team. . . Outwardly the team looks like a perfect mold of one but inwardly a little dissension is still rife. . . . Events of the past week have done much to calm the approaching storm. . . .
Make My Valentine--ten victories and two defeats is the record KU. will carry into the game with Nebraska. Trailing Oklahoma by half a game, Dr. F. C. Allen's team can move back into a tie for first place by downing the Huskers Saturday night.

Tall Huskers Coming
Returning to Big Six competition after an absence of three weeks, the University of Kansas Jayhawks tangle with the Nebraska Cornhuskers here Saturday night.
First Game Inside Loop In 3 Weeks
Last previous joust in the conference for the Jayhawks was their 46-44 overtime win from Kansas State, Jan. 24. Since then they have met five opponents outside the league, Iowa U., DePaul, Wichita, Great Lakes and Creighton, losing only to the star-studded Navy team.
K.U. Has Good Record
Jayhawks In Excellent Form
As goes Sid Held so goes Nebraska and the Jayhawks will be out to stop the big center as thoroughly as they did at Lincoln earlier in the season. In defeating the Huskers 51-32 in that game, Kansas limited Held to one field goal and five throws.
K. U. played superb ball in defeating Creighton 53-49 Tuesday night and Doctor Allen is hopeful that his cagers have enough competition under their belts now to maintain that pace.
Scintillating passing which worked the ball through the Creighton defense for one short shot after another was the feature of Kansas' play. The Jayhawks were by no means "hot" on their shooting, however, making only 29 per cent of their shots and missing many good ones.
The best all-around game of his
Miller and Hunter Lead Way
HE'LL GIVE YOU HIS LOVE--career was played against Creighton by "Rambling Ralph" Miller, senior forward. Miller's passing was sensational and resulted in seven or eight baskets for other players in addition to the five field goals Ralph netted along with four free throws. T. P. Hunter, probably the most valuable reserve in the conference, played another outstanding game against Creighton. Going into action when Charlie Black acquired three fouls in the first half, T. P.

banged in five field goals before he too fouled out late in the game.
Four Jayhawks accounted for 10 or more points in the victory over the Bluejays. Miller was high with 14, Black and John Buescher each had 11, with Hunter adding his 10. Nebraska will be no soft touch, however, as evidenced by their 39 to 31 victory over Iowa State last Saturday. Ken Elson, forward, and John Bottorf, guard, gained starting berths in that game.
